Diptyque - Perfumes, fragrances, perfumed candles

Diptyque was founded in 1961 by three friends who had been trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and in house decoration,
Desmond Knox-Leet, Christiane Gautrot and Yves Coueslant.
They first produced their own printed fabrics and then began importing to Paris the most renowned English perfumes.
In 1963 Diptyque started producing a series of scented candles which soon gained world-wide fame.
In 1968 Diptyque produced its first toilet water, l'EAU, based on a XVIth century pot pourri and clove pomander recipe.
This was to be followed by other creations, which came as toilet water or soap as well as a rare and sophisticated toilet vinegar.
Boxes in a sober design with elegant lettering and stylish drawings at the unmistakable hallmark of Diptyque products.
